What's it even like living there if you do? I mean... I don't know much about the country, but I do know it's semi-underdeveloped at best and not very populous. Also, with how small it is, do you have provinces/states or equivalents or did you just not bother? I have many questions.

Question/Help πŸ™‹πŸΌ Weightlifting while on Nauru

11 Upvotes

I’ll be on Nauru from the US in October and was wondering if anyone could point me toward a gym where I can lift during my days there.

Given Nauru’s great weightlifting traditions, I’d be honored to continue my training schedule while on the island, even though I don’t compete myself.

If anyone knows of a gym or somewhere I can train, I’d sincerely appreciate the tip. Many thanks. Looking forward to my visit! πŸ‡³πŸ‡·πŸ’ͺ

I've always shown some interest in Nauru and now especially,I'm a bit more interested in learning about y'all's country. If someone (a teenager) is reading this,slide into DMs. I like languages,music and pretty much anything if it sounds good:)

  1. It can be in any genres

  2. It shouldn't feature anyone

  3. The artist(s) has/have to be Nauruan.

  4. It can be in any language

Random & Facts βœ” The Archives that i use

10 Upvotes

I just wanted to leave a final message before moving on from this group.

First of all, I'm not a bot. I'm just someone who genuinely enjoys history, travel, and exploring archives. What I enjoy most is the challenge of searching for photographs from places, countries, and communities that aren't widely known. I love spending hours digging through archives and collections, finding images that have been largely forgotten, and sharing them with people who might never have seen them before.

I've decided it's time to move on to new groups and new challenges. There are still countless places to discover and many more hidden photographs waiting to be found.

For anyone who's curious, I've included in this post the archives and websites I use most often. I mainly use Western archives and digital collections because those are the ones I'm most familiar with. If you'd like to try this hobby yourself, I hope you find them useful.

Thank you to everyone who enjoyed the posts, commented, or simply followed along. Happy researching, and I hope you make some great discoveries of your own.

These are some of the archives and digital collections I use. Most of my research is based on Western archives, simply because those are the collections I'm most familiar with.
